7 Ways to Learn to Let Go and Enjoy Life More ...

I’ll be honest: I have a hard time finding ways to learn to let go and relax. I know this, I’m aware of it, yet it’s one of the hardest things for me to do. I’ve been a perfectionist my whole life, and though I don’t expect other people to be, I am always way too serious with myself. Knowing this, I’ve challenged myself the last few years with ways to learn to let go and enjoy life more. I’m not perfect at this, and it’s been pretty tough for a focused, organized freak like myself, but I am getting there slowly, very slowly! Check out my tips and what I’m learning and maybe you can share some with me too.2

1. Don’t Plan 24/7

I’m one of those nerds that enjoys planning things to the core, and I actually enjoy this about myself, but when learning ways to learn to let go, I’ve had to stop with so much planning.

I realized that I can’t control my life with my calendar or planner, despite the security it seems to bring.

Once in a while, stop checking your calendar and just do things on a whim.

Obviously, this doesn’t mean neglecting your work, bills or relationships, but once in a while, it’s okay to just fly by the seat of your pants and take a day for yourself, or with others.

Don’t worry what time everything will take place and just try to go with the flow.
